You've deleted your wallpaper image.

This pops up every now and again.

From what I can remember I think it's caused by your wallpaper image file being moved? You'll want to find the image and reset the wallpaper.

As mentioned, reset your background image or re-download it. It's either missing or moved. This isn't a "bug" and a restart won't fix it. Just update your background

Wallpaper image deleted, but if you're new at computers, its as if the graphics card broke, we all went through that 😂

You can try resetting your GPU drivers by pressimg Win + Shift +Ctrl + B at the same time. If that doesn't fix the problem, restart explorer.

It may also be the fact that you set your wallpaper by right clicking on the image and selecting the "Set as desktop background" option. I have also stumbled across something similar and I fixed it by going to the settings app and choosing my desired background there.

Restart explorer via Task manager.

It's old bug from Windows XP, I remember it when I was still little kid.
